Summary

This study aimed to test a combination of two drugs—LY3200882 and capecitabine—in people with advanced colorectal cancer that had stopped responding to chemotherapy. The goal was to see if the combination could re-sensitize tumors to treatment. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling any patients, so no data were collected.
